“Breached” a personal introspective by Author G D Grace

For as long as I can remember, there has always been someone saying that this is right and this is wrong. I sat in pews listening to someone who cuts and bleeds like I, condemning and judging , dictating a word that breached my joy without any understanding or concern.

The road to recovery has been long and dark at times, but I am living proof that the path of happiness begins with embracing who you are.

I had to analyze my life and rebuild a spirit that had almost died, just because it had been infected with ideals and principles that invoked hatred.

Today, I am confident enough to respect the opinions and religions of others, because I believe that spirituality is an essential part of the soul.

I know that it isn’t the concept that  is corrupt, it is the interpretation of it that is being exploited.

I wasn’t here thousands of years ago to bind without question; all I have is my common sense and what I feel inside my heart.

Life has willed me with something more precious than wealth; it has blessed me with an unyielding appreciation for diversity, and mental freedom that not even money can buy.

To excel in spite of oppression grants access to dreams some see, but never follow.

Oh, yes, my creative Jones has got a hold of me. ~GD

“Music, the Soundtrack of My Life” – an introspective by Author G D Grace

The moment music found me, I was never the same. I know real when I hear it, and I inhale all of it’s depth…

When I am at a concert… I am lost in the experience…

Some of the best Jazz, R&B, Rock, Country, Opera… whatever ,if you touch me you got me.

I don’t care about your status; if you’re an asshole, I separate it from your music, and will always love it…

Entertainers are people. Najee is one guy, a brilliant musician… I’ll never forget, Woodminster Theater… that night… he blew his horn… it was magical…

Musicians know who are there for the music, and not there for their celebrity…

Sade, Swing Out Sister, Teena Marie, The O’Jays, The Whispers, The Jackson 5, The Sylvers… Switch, Debarge, Tamia, Chico Debarge, Aretha, George Michael, Hall and Oats, Anita Baker, Rick James, Donna Summers, Prince, The Time, Andre Simone, Jody Wately, Howard Hewitt, Babyface, Madonna, Paul Hardcastle, Kim Waters, Norman Brown, Wil Downing, Darien Dean, Mary Edwards
….etc…

The list goes on and on…

The soundtrack of my life…

If writing is my first love, then music is right there riding shotgun, parallel…~GD

Where professional creatives flourish; artist who support the theme of creativity, supporting the artistry of others in an environment that thrives on the foundation of excellence and originality. The realm where intellectual originals thrive.Having observed many groups on Facebook, I decided to step out on faith and put my spin on this whole networking activity. I know without a doubt that, building relationships is a powerful bridge that leads to many pivotal destinations. Facebook has been a great networking avenue, and as I move forward deeper into this creative world I realize that, thinking out the box, is where it is at.

I also am part of the 4000+ Unsung group — that same Unsung from TvOne that chronicles the lives of many of our loved R&B entertainers, from Shalamar, Johnny Gill, Heatwave, The O’Jays, Phyllys Hyman, The Whispers, Angela Winbush, etc…I called this group THE INDUSTRY because I wanted it to represent strong willed, creative, and talented individuals. I plan to make it a creative smorgasbord of Literary Publishers, Music Industry Creatives, Arts, etc… I want it to be professional and a great networking resource for all members.So, if you have a product that you’d like to promote, don’t hesitate to post in on this wall, and don’t hesitate a daily word, inspirational messages, upcoming events… etc…Ladies and Gentlemen, I welcome you to THE INDUSTRY ~GD

“The Knowing” – BY Author G D Grace

Allowed to spill over from that which is full, our emotions will never be contained.

When we cry…

When we smile..,

When we expose ourselves with honesty we empty the emotional well…

When we let it flow without restriction we are honesty in the purest state…

Fearless, original, and transparent…

The overwhelming in the knowing exceeds and soars…

Let it be. ~GD

“Prayers for the Insecure and Broken” – introspective enlightenment by Author G D Grace

My prayers, this morning, are for the insecure and broken…

Individuals obsessed with the goings on of others; who are possessed with actions driven by judgement, and fueled by insecurity and hate.

They introduced me to depression and self-hatred. They stripped me, temporarily, of who I was, and replaced it with confusion and insecurity.

I don’t know it all, but what I know is that none of us are mistakes.

I remember writing the poem, “Happy;” I wrote it after a failed suicide attempt. When I woke up that morning I looked into the sky and said; you kept me here, now what do you want me to do?

The answer I was given yielded 5 books.

The almighty is amazing, and I need no middle man to communicate with him.

The only mistakes are those made by humans. Blessed be… ~GD

“We Can Never Lie to Ourselves” – a sobering introspective by Author G D Grace

The road ahead is filled with exciting opportunities, travel, and interestingly successful people. It took years for me to realize that my spirit is just as intriguing as the next persons. Lip service is a mouth moving action from an open mouth spouting off empty words.

It really used to hurt my feelings, but one day you wake up and discover that those who matter, who mean you well, are the only ones that count.

I know longer chase friendship, I chase dreams. Just by being me I am meeting some of the most interesting, intelligent, and sincere individuals.

The price of their friendship:

Free of Charge

The terms of their friendship:

Encouragement and Inspiration.

I had no idea I had issues with trust, but once I identified another culprit anchoring my spirit down, I documented those feelings, addressed them, and emerged from that mental impairment. Mental freedom requires a deep investment in self, and an open mind.

Change only occurs when there is strong faith and virginal desire. We may be able to lie to others, but one thing I know for sure, we can never lie to ourselves.

“The Beholder of Perfect” – introspective from personal insight by Author G D Grace

I remember this moment, when I had gone beyond frustration, when I tried blaming my emotional state on others, but that’s when I heard this voice in my mind, and all it whispered was…

“Honor thy mother and father..”

It was as clear as an actual conversation. My late grandmother gave me a weapon that I have strengthened over the years. It wasn’t religion, it was spirituality, and it flies throughout my being.

I forgive without fail, I love without judgement, I persevere regardless of any circumstance, and…

I know I’m not alone…

Life has afforded me the precious gift of meeting and engaging with others just like me…

And if I died tomorrow, I learned one of the greatest lessons…

It is to love myself.

We all have a true passion; some of us infect it with ego and greed, but many of us nurture it with love and compassion…

And, thankfully, I can identify each and every one.

None of us hold the title of perfect, that belongs to a higher power beyond description…

Sky
Sun
Moon
Seasons
Time
Love
Life

All belong to the creator…

We are just products of that brilliance… ~GD
